Chapter 28
Max
Everyone follows us out to my car. Well, actually, Renée and Sierra go in one car while the boys and I go in my car but Khaled is driving. I can't drive with paint on me. Everything that happened in the confirmed what my friends said about Sierra.
Flashback
Renée, Sam and Khaled gathered together in my house. They said they had something important to tell me.
"So, what is it?" I asked them when the small talk had died down.
"It's been two days since you told us about your problem with Alex," Sam started. "You haven't done anything to rectify the problem." I bent my head at that. I just didn't know how to approach her.
Renee continued for him. "We think you're finding it difficult to come to terms with what she said, and unfortunately, you're too blind to see that Sierra likes you and is trying to come between you two. Don't ask me how I know that."
"So we've thought of a plan to make you see the wisdom in Alexis's words."
End of flashback
The fact that Sierra opened her mouth to call my girlfriend a bitch right in front of me was enough confirmation. Why did I not see this sooner? I felt bad to see my girl in that condition, she looked like she wanted to kill me and feed me to the vultures.
"Do you now understand what we were saying?" Khaled asks.
"Yeah," is my simple reply.
"Fix this, and fix it today," Sam says. By now, Khaled parked in the garage of my house and Sam stormed out of the car. I don't blame him. Alexi is like a sister to him to having to sit through all that and not join her in planning my death sentence must have been hard for him.
I rush upstairs and get cleaned so that I can go and see Alexis. I also have to see James. The guy did us a big favor by unlocking her studio without her consent. Sierra knew nothing about the plan so I guess she thinks I'm into her now. Not a chance.

I knock on the door, which is actually wide open. I just can't bring myself to go in there. Lord knows she hates me now. I'm not even sure if she can forgive me.
"Come in," she says without looking behind at her.
I clear my throat. "Hey."
The speed of lightning can't match how fast she turned. "What are you doing here?" she asks, clearly annoyed. "Aren't you supposed to be with your girlfriend?"
Kneeling down, I say, "you're my girlfriend." I take one of her hands as she looks away. "You're my first love so why should I choose someone else over you?"
"You clearly did that."
"I'm sorry, Alexi. I never meant to hurt you." Tears start running down her cheeks. "Please, forgive me."
"Do you know how stupid you made me look?"
"I'm sorry." I keep apologising until she nods. I can finally stand up and give her a hug. "I'm sorry."
"It's fine. But why were you all over Sierra this morning?" she asks.
I smile. My girl is the jealous type and I'm really flattered that she could do all that for me. "It was a plan," I explain. "The others wanted to prove your point to me so I had to pretend."
"Oh. Then I'm sorry for the paint but you definitely deserved it."
I smile. "I most definitely deserved it for being an ass."
Author's note
Another update my people. I am legit laughing right now. Do you know how terrible I am at writing romantic scenes? Just the word 'love' can make me feel nauseous. Anyway, I hope I didn't write absolute rubbish.
So our favorite couple is back together and the Maxis ship is sailing strong and proud! Lol, I just want to feel like these motivational speakers. Thanks for reading guys.
Bye,
Diane.
